[Verse 1]
16 skipped stones, ripples in the pond,
Grew with the echoes, but the rhythm was wrong,
Distance in the clash, like a storm we spawned,
Chasing fragments of love that we both belonged.
[Chorus]
You hate, I ache, the fault a tightrope walk,
Fragile balance, yet my heart never balks,
Think of you always, even when shadows stalk,
Love unconditional, your name fills my talk.
[Verse 2]
Mistakes ingrained, like graffiti on the walls,
Streets taught lessons but the echoes still call,
I apologize, though pride wants me to stall,
Love you—while I stumble, rise, learn it all.
[Bridge]
Time sharpens, yet the wounds still bleed,
Built on cracks, yet I water our seed,
Hate me, fine, but my light you feed,
I'm here if you fall, a guarantee decreed.
[Chorus]
You hate, I ache, the fault a tightrope walk,
Fragile balance, yet my heart never balks,
Think of you always, even when shadows stalk,
Love unconditional, your name fills my talk.
[Verse 3]
Daydreams encircle, where we used to reside,
Faces in the crowd hold pieces I can’t hide,
Hatred like armor; on the inside, tide,
Swept me closer to truths unable to collide.
